rsv Matthew:20:1-8
rsv@Matthew:20:1 @ "For the kingdom of heaven is like a householder who went out early in the morning to hire laborers for his vineyard.
rsv@Matthew:20:2 @ After agreeing with the laborers for a denarius a day, he sent them into his vineyard.
rsv@Matthew:20:3 @ And going out about the third hour he saw others standing idle in the market place;
rsv@Matthew:20:4 @ and to them he said, `You go into the vineyard too, and whatever is right I will give you.' So they went.
rsv@Matthew:20:5 @ Going out again about the sixth hour and the ninth hour, he did the same.
rsv@Matthew:20:6 @ And about the eleventh hour he went out and found others standing; and he said to them, `Why do you stand here idle all day?'
rsv@Matthew:20:7 @ They said to him, `Because no one has hired us.' He said to them, `You go into the vineyard too.'
rsv@Matthew:20:8 @ And when evening came, the owner of the vineyard said to his steward, `Call the laborers and pay them their wages, beginning with the last, up to the first.'
